Usually, the path that a subatomic particle takes is called just that, its path. Certain terms are used for specific circumstances, though, such as; orbit, when you're talking about atomic electrons; track, when you're referring to a particle's path in a cloud or bubble chamber; and beam, when referring to the path of a group of similar particles in an accelerator.
